Looking to take a course or training in Basic Registers?

What are Basic Registers—and why are they essential?

Basic Registers are at the core of geospatial information in the Netherlands. They hold vital data about people, businesses, buildings, addresses, and parcels—ensuring consistent, reliable, and accessible information for both public institutions and private organisations.

These registers are indispensable across sectors. For instance, in urban planning, emergency services, or environmental monitoring, accurate location data is key to making smart, timely decisions. By learning how to work with Basic Registers, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the national geospatial data infrastructure—and how to apply it in real-world projects.

Whether you’re involved in GIS, data analysis, or public administration, this knowledge is essential in today’s data-driven, location-aware world.
And if you’re working with Building Information Modeling (BIM), understanding how Basic Registers connect to digital construction models enhances project accuracy and spatial insight.

Why choose a Basic Registers course at Geo-ICT?

At Geo-ICT Training Center in the Netherlands, we offer practical, in-depth training that connects geospatial theory with real-world application. Our courses focus on how Basic Registers are used in daily GIS workflows—giving you hands-on experience with datasets like BAG (Addresses and Buildings), BGT (Large-Scale Topography), and WOZ (Valuation of Real Estate).

You’ll learn from professionals who work with these systems every day, and who understand how to translate data into value for projects in planning, infrastructure, and public policy. Whether you’re starting your career or adding to your skillset, Geo-ICT helps you stay ahead in a fast-changing field.

And for professionals involved in spatial planning or digital design, our training supports workflows where GIS, Basic Registers, and BIM increasingly overlap.
